The video, which aired on Monday night's episode of the 'Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' displayed a mash-up of words spoken by the 54 year-old broadcaster on several 'NBC Nightly News' segments.

These were put in order to make it seem like he was rapping to the rap song, and to try and make the video as authentic as possible (which didn't really work), Fallon played the original lyrics and tune in the background.

The result was absolutely hilarious.

The 39 year-old chat show host quickly took to Twitter to thank Snoop for the recognition.

"@SnoopDogg thanks. Who knew @bwilliams has skillllz #laidback," he tweeted.

This isn't the first time Fallon has chosen Williams to reprise other notorious rap songs.

In an interview with Fallon, the news anchor discussed his new image as a rap star and how the talk-show emcee's videos have caused a stir in the music industry. "It's all anyone mentions to me anymore," Williams told Fallon on Monday. "I've never said 'hippity'," the anchor added, insisting he has no part in assisting with the famous clips.

He also noted an incident last Thursday when running into Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding, Jr., at a New York Rangers game. "He comes up to me and says, 'You are a huge figure in the rap and hip-hop community.'"
